“Sound – and in our case music – is of course a universal language, it helps us reach as wide an audience as possible. As an interface, it allows for immediate feedback, regardless of the time of day and speaks less to our cognitive brain and more to our emotions.” — MOUNA ANDRAOS (CO-FOUNDER DAILY TOUS LES JOURS) (SOLO MUSIC GALLERY, 2019)
Introduction
Every day, when we are alone, the shadow is always with you. When we were young, we always wanted to step on our shadows under the sun. We used our hands to make animals on the walls under the light, such as dogs, birds, antlers, etc. We grow up now, but we ignore our good friend - "shadow". It's always there, but we don't notice. So, we try to use this project to remind us of the happy childhood and play with the shadow again. Using the output of sound, let shadow play a new pattern. look up relevant artists (such as Lozano hemmer) (LOZANO-HEMMER, 2019) on the Internet for more inspiration. In the end, we decided to make “harmony in the shadow” project.
Algorithm Programme
In the code, we input the library which set the oscillator with the wavetable, set gain, set frequency in the void setup. The frequency we defined is based on the note harmonic Frequencies for equal-tempered scale, A4 = 440 Hz [8] frequencies. For optimal playback, we use void update.Control to prevent frequent polling of the analog pins from overwhelming the timing of the synthesis system. We read the sensor through analog pins by mozziAnalogRead function, then we set up the function map to set a number from one range to another, fromHigh: the upper bound of the value’s current range, and toLow: the lower bound of the value’s target range. We also gave the effect of the waveshaped signals in updateAudio.
